Do you say a little prayer before you turn on your 360?
Not one to help you vanquish Earth of Covenant invaders or anything like that, but one that says "please don't let me see red." If you do, you're probably not alone. While I can say that my 360 has been flawless since I've owned it (except for recent "issues" with Xbox Live getting slammed) -- I've only had it a week. Up until Christmas I only had two local friends (my brother-in-law-to-be and my boss) with 360s and over the course of this last year they have both got the dreaded "red ring of death" -- both of them were early adopters to the platform. Both had their boxes sent to Microsoft to be "fixed".
I've been reading reports online, including a few from our forums, of previous RROD owners having the issue return. Then last night during a Call of Duty 4 match with Neowin Moderator bangbang023 (and other Neowin member who's name escapes me) my brother-in-law-to-be called me up to inform me that his machine has received it's second RROD. This got me a little frustrated.
So my question is, how many RRODs have you had? Please feel free to detail in the forum discussion
here. Please be sure to respond to the poll at the right.
